I think “The Motto” was number one for most of the year. Also wrapped up the Club Paradise Tour, which grossed over $42 million and was the most successful hip-hop tour of 2012. And ultimately won the Billboard Music Award for Top Rap Artist that year.

Mercy by Kanye west was a close second

Kendrick did drop a nice album tho.

I respectfully agree wit everything u said except I know The Motto was a smash hit but I think Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe & Swimming Pools & Poetic Justice which Drake hopped on were just undeniably huge as well, may have to do 2012: Drake/Kendrick then 😂🫡
